Abstract:
During the first years of the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln believed he could quickly end the war, restore the Union, and reorganize Southern governments. Between 1861 and 1863, Lincoln believed he could restrain Republican antislavery sentiment and rely on Southern Unionism to end the war. While inadequately studied by current historians, Lincoln's controversial and failed reconstruction plan for North Carolina in 1862-1863 demonstrated that he no longer believed a quick restoration of order in the South was likely.
